I fell in love with Meliora by Parfums de Marly at the Bloomingdale’s counter. I didn’t ask the price, just took the card I’d sprayed and tucked it into my bag. Later, I couldn’t stop smelling it, and realized it was different from anything else I had (and I have a lot).
It’s bright and feminine without a strong floral note. There’s no laundry or shampoo or soap or blue cool ocean notes. Thank goodness.
So I fell in love with MELIORA, but I went home with LALIQUE AMETHYST. That is to say, I didn’t fall in love with Meliora’s price. When I read that LALIQUE AMETHYST was created by the same nose, and saw that others rated them as similar, I decided to go for it–my first ever blind buy, at $24 for a brand new 3.3 fl. oz. Eau De Parfum. I am beyond excited because the two smell the same!
If you love Meliora, save your pennies for another love and instead buy AMETHYST!

This is an expensive dupe for Lalique Amethyst, which (surprise surprise) has also been created by Nathalie Lorson. I was expecting that the note I didn’t like in Amethyst would be absent in Meliora. But nope, they are 99% the same, maybe Meliora is a tiny bit sweeter. I don’t get why perfumers do that.

I LOVED this when I sampled it, from a Parfums de Marly card, I believe it was in a (edit: sample purse spray). It came out as beautiful beautiful blackberries, lush and sweet (but not too sweet) and I swore it was the one. So I got a bottle and lo and behold, the scent was different. Remember Byredo’s Pulp, the smell of almost too ripe fruit? Well, after a similar-to-sample blackberryish opening, that’s what I got stuck with. Overripe fruit. WTH? My skin does weird stuff sometimes. Must be the black currant? So, not a fan. I tried different applications – I put some in a rollerball, I put some in a glass vial, but still no luck. Maybe I’ll just keep buying the sample cards. I’m still searching for the perfect blackberry daytime scent, but all the ones out there like Trish McEvoy and Philosophy think that blending blackberry with vanilla will make it better, but it doesn’t. I need the blackberry to be with flowers, no vanilla, and NO MUSK (L’Artisan Mure et Musc Extreme/Montale Fruits of the Musk, I’m looking at you).
OH and it lasts 2 hours tops. Actually within minutes I can’t smell it anymore unless I bury my nose in my arm.

As a huge fan of cassis and black currant I’m into this. It’s nothing very unique, but the smell is really pleasant and has quality. It stayed on my arm for a about 6 hours wich is almost outstanding because even the strongest perfumes fades away very fast this is a problem with my skin. And on a paper blotter the smell stayed for almost two months while it was in my wallet.

Gorgeous!! Completely gorgeous!!!! Oh gosh, it’s such a beauty. I adore it. Delicious! All the ingredients are superb. It is fruity, with a lovely bite, and creamy and sweet, soft and smooth. Excellent sillage and longevity. It wafts around me a few feet for the whole day. It’s completely charming. It has a richness I find beguiling. I love wearing it; it’s one of my favourite perfumes ever.

This perfume smells DIVINE. It is soft, sweet, berry and juicy. When I first smelled it i thought i found “THE ONE” signature smell I would wear forever. It is very feminine and sophisticated, it even “smells expensive”.
Unfortunately, it is not long lasting – 2-3 hours tops, and that would be with a very moderate sillage.
It is a soft fragrance, so it is more “for yourself” than for someone else – since it will be easily overshadowed by anything cheaper from Sephora – and tbh that is not worth the price (which ranges from $180 to $275).
I ended up getting 5 samples directly from Perfumes de Marly just so I can smell it over and over again. But I will not invest in a full bottle.

Gals, guys… It’s Nuit De Noho by bond no 9 but missing something. The berries are right front and center at first but quickly fade and it gets a little more cassis and a hint of black currant and some rose. I barely got vanilla at all.
It’s a pretty smell. But “pretty” isn’t good enough for the retail price tag. Bond No 9’s Nuit De Noho isn’t really much better on the price and it performs about the same in my experience.
Dyptique’s L’ombe Das L’eau (I spelled the wrong didn’t I?) has that rich black currant and sorta floral but earthy smell this perfume seems to want to dry-down to, but without any vanilla.
To me it’s a much better bang for the buck and smells much more mature. This comes off a little to “umm excuse me do you EVEN KNOW who my daddy is!?”

I was lured to this fragrance on the promise of the blackcurrant and berries. But apart from the cassis leaf, berries aren’t really allowed to play a part, as centre stage belongs to my nemesis – the dreaded vanilla. So no juicy fruity surprise, but the opening is amazing! The opening is so stunning with lots of ylang-ylang and lily of the valley that for an exciting moment I thought I’d found my favourite scent. Unfortunately the perky notes take a back seat after the Debbie Downer vanilla and musk come to rule for the duration of the fragrance journey. During this transition it reminded me of Juliette Has A Gun’s Moondance with echoes of a modernised and aldehyde-free Lanvin’s Arpeg but the dry-down is the all-too-soon party pooper.
The bottom line; feminine and pretty but the dry down is just too vanilla/musk but zero berries.

I’m addicted to it. Ever searching for natural smelling fragrances – I sampled this and fell in love. Fruits and leaves and flower buds- not too sweet. I’m finding cranberry is present in many fragrances that appeal to me. If you like Rossy de Palma I think you will like this as well.
NeonMaxx – :
There is nothing wrong with this perfume.
It’s pretty, fruity and light. I get red berries floating on a creamy cassis river that turns milky vanilla as time inches onward. It lasts far longer than it should, and projects about four inches from my skin with decent sillage.
It is also generic, sweet-fruity, and reminiscent of things that waft out of shopping malls. That isn’t inherently a bad thing, (it’s a lot of people’s idea of heaven) but from a niche brand, it is unexpected.
But
I cannot escape the thought that this for all those who really just want to pay 200$ for a Victoria’s Secret smell while avoiding the Vickie’s bottle.
So, if the painful embarrassment of admitting “Exotic Sexy Summer Girl” flanker 13 into your Amouage/Creed/Tom Ford collection is just too much to bear, this might be for you.

Meliora de marly has nothing complicated..every thing is simple and natural here
The scent is a mixture of these lovely fruits(black currant and red berries)also casis and rose
It seems general and reminds amethyst lalique n many others..even not so strong projection..longevity n sillage are both moderate on my skin.I even can’t detect dramatic changes in notes.just fruity notes while rose and a little musk are following it
The magic is this perfect balance..like a lovely song but not performed in opera;singer is just a pretty young girl in white cotton dress
It smells nice natural and fresh..is easy to wear every time and every where
Meliora is just as lovely as an ariginal beauty;sometimes beauty is in simplicity
horbachov – :
not a great fragrance. Definently nothing to be worn by a man. Starts of great with the black currant and cassis but later on it turns out cheap with way to much flowers that are sweet.
vasyakin – :
i do not usually wear or even try as they all smell so similar and fade on my skin.this perfume i bought blind and it is quite lovely and i must give white florals a bit of a chance in the future.maliora from parfums de marley has now made it to my favorites list.only draw back it is a bit spendy.
Skematomasser – :

babosha – :
